Recommended 205 Alloy Refurbishers

[christopher 5 1 Cars]

My old 1,9 GTi (that my mum is driving in UK) has leaky rims and they look a bit worse for wear. I would like to have them professionally refurbished or exchanged.

 

Does anyone have good experience with any companies (preferably down south).

 

I would like somewhere good (i.e not just a sandblast and a lick of paint!! or something). These need to last.

 

I saw a topc on here but the guy doesn't answer his PM so hence my question..

 

Cheers

1stclassalloys are superb. They recently reconditioned my magnesium wheels to an as new standard.

I used a one man outfit in Canvey Island www.jppolishing.co.uk a proper job, sand blasted and powdercoated for ~£40 a wheel. better than new.

Christopher I take it your Mum is still in Watford? If so, then These People are only over in Flaunden, so not too far.

Whats the prefered method of refurbing ? I see some places paint, others powder coat.

Im looking to get some done in the new year.

Spit and polish are pants, they did a couple of M3 wheels for us at work and they look sh!t.

Lepsons are good but pricey. I will try and get the number of the guy who done mine (diamond cut and anthercite).

 

Also that Tony (iirc) guy on here does exchange ones that look pretty damn good
